My husband and I spent a weekend in Franschhoek, hiding out at Bird Cottage where we enjoyed the tranquillity of an organic vineyard and scenic mountain walks on our doorstep. I didn't want to leave.
We ate at Cafe des Arts - great food, service and art. Oh and if you love ginger beer, I think we found the best ginger beer at the Saturday morning farmers' market.
I was intrigued to find out that in the early 1600's Franschhoek was known as Oliphants Hoek (Elephant Corner) due to the herd of elephants known to pass through the area. Just a little trivia for ya :)
